Ron DeSantis, Florida governor was not shy about discussing expansion of the IRS. Due to Joe Biden signing the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, $80 billion will go to the IRS for “taxation enforcement.”
As I reported on Tuesday, Texas cattle ranchers that the IRS audited gave a stark warning to Americans following the legislation’s passing. Democrats may pretend that $80 billion was to be used by billionaires in order to have them pay. Because the IRS has received billions in funding, we know all too well that anyone can be audited.
DeSantis talked about IRS funding and the hiring of additional agents. He said it is a “middle finger” to the American people.
“Of all the things that have come out of Washington that have been outrageous, this has got to be pretty close to the top,” DeSantis said. “I think it was basically just the middle finger to the American public, that this is what they think of you.”
He continued, saying this funding means they are “going after you.”
“They are going to go after independent contractors, they’re going to go after small business people, they’re going to go after someone that may be driving an Uber or a handyman or all these things … Why would they do that? Because you’re not going to be able to contend with the audit, so they’re going to crush a lot of people by doing that.”
IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said this legislation would “close the tax gap” and improve taxpayer service and technology.
“The IRS has struggled for many years with insufficient resources to fulfill our important mission … During the next 10 years, these funds will help us in many areas, including adding critical resources to not just close the tax gap but meaningfully improve taxpayer service and technology.”
DeSantis added:
“They’re not putting very much money down at the border, I can tell you that right now … but they want to be able to do it and unleash them on American taxpayers. That’s wrong.”
Only 13 percent believe the Inflation Reduction Act, according to YouGov’s recent poll. 42% believe it will increase inflation, while 42 percent see the reverse effect. It will raise inflation by 14 percent, and decrease it by 25 percent, according to a breakdown of Democrats. A staggering 72 percent of Republicans believe the legislation will raise inflation. Two percent don’t think it will reduce inflation. Fourteen percent of Independents feel inflation will grow, while seven percent say it will fall.

Inflation is still at the top of the list of concerns for the majority of voters, and after the Biden administration, Democrats, and the mainstream media touted “wins,” if and when inflation increases, voters will not forget that in November.
The IRS will likely audit more Americans, it seems. It is not just hundreds of thousands, but 724 billionaires that are in America. Voters will recall that the IRS auditing of hardworking families happened, and vote for the GOP to ensure that government is balanced. Democrats won’t be able pass their wish list whenever they want.
